irap_noroslib (C++) — dependencies

irap_noroslib links zero ROS libraries and pulls in no third-party packages. Everything it needs ships with a standard C++ toolchain — that is the whole point of the library.

Required (to compile any program that uses irap_noroslib)

• A C++17 compiler — g++ ≥ 7, clang ≥ 5, or MSVC 2017+.
• The platform's sockets + threads, which are part of the OS/toolchain, not a package you install:
  • Linux / macOS / WSL — POSIX sockets (libc) + pthreads → link -pthread.
  • Windows (MinGW) — Winsock2 → link -lws2_32.
  • Windows (MSVC) — Winsock2 is auto-linked via #pragma comment(lib, "ws2_32"); nothing to add.

That is the complete list. No Boost, no ROS, no console_bridge, no message libraries, no CMake-time codegen.

Optional (only to build the bundled examples the convenient way)

• CMake ≥ 3.10 — drives cmake -S . -B build && cmake --build build -j. You do not need CMake to use irap_noroslib: copy include/irap_noroslib.hpp into your project and compile a single .cpp by hand, e.g.

  # Linux / macOS / WSL
  g++ -std=c++17 -pthread your_app.cpp irap_noroslib_impl.cpp -o your_app
  # Windows, MinGW
  g++ -std=c++17 your_app.cpp irap_noroslib_impl.cpp -o your_app.exe -lws2_32

Standard-library headers used

<atomic> <chrono> <cstdint> <cstdlib> <cstring> <functional> <map> <memory> <mutex> <string> <thread> <vector> plus the platform socket headers (<sys/socket.h> … on POSIX, <winsock2.h> on Windows) — all part of a conforming C++17 install.
